• The only breeds people mention are ones that are notoriously annoying. Persian, Siamese, Sphinx.

    Everything else is based on appearance… tabby, calico, mackerel, “maine coon” (which is often used to describe cats that *aren’t* maine coon)

      Persians are well known for being one of the more friendly breeds. I can’t confirm because my family doesn’t believe in getting pure breeds

      You forgot tortoiseshell, which is both famously prissy and named after a pattern

      Tortoiseshells are known for having “tortitude” but aren’t really their own breed, its really just a description of their coat

        “American short-hair” covers a surprisingly large number of “breeds” that people think are out there.
